Chapter 389 – Plum, Rain, Skiff, Man

“Then why are you going to Yufu County?

Zhao Huai lowered his head and kept quiet. After some time, his underling handed him the wine bottle once again. He took the bottle and lifted his head to look at Mo Ruo. “To visit an old friend.”

“Oh? Even the first master from Gaoshan Village has an old friend?”

“What do you mean?” Zhao Huai questioned.

“I don’t mean anything in particular. I was just asking. Why are you so agitated?” As he spoke, Mo Ruo gestured at his amputated arm with his chin, and said directly, “Although your wound has already healed, you’ll still have to take good care of it. The weather seems to be turning worse in the coming days and no one knows when the rainy season is going to end. If your wound gets exposed to the humidity, it will leave you with lingering pain.”

Zhao Huai snorted. “As long as it doesn’t kill me.”

Mo Ruo sneered as he stood up and strutted to Jing Rong’s side. The moment he sat down, he lowered his voice and reported to Jing Rong, “Not only is Zhao Huai a rough and stubborn man, he also has a tight mouth. He would not spill a word.”

So he had gone to scout for information.

Jing Rong threw Zhao Huai a glance, then went back to poking at the campfire with the stick. He said, “He may not have good intentions. You’ll have to look out.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t let your sweetheart get snatched away again.” Mo Ruo teased.

Jing Rong glared at him, “Drink your wine.”

“Fine, fine, fine. I drink my wine, and you continue to play with your fire. It’s the best to stay alone in this rainy night.” Then, he left the room.

Ji Yunshu looked at Mo Ruo’s silhouette, then handed Wei Yi to Lang Po. “Stay with Brother Lang for a while.”

Wei Yi rubbed his eyes. “Oh.” Then he hugged Lang Po’s arm and went back to sleep.

Lang Po’s face was painted with awkwardness as the guards beside him laughed silently.

Just when Ji Yunshu stood up and was about to leave, Jing Rong held her arm. “Stay here, don’t go anywhere.”

“I’ll just be there for a short while. I’ll be right back.”
